Cross-border driving routes from Slovakia

You should carry an International Driving Permit alongside your national licence in most countries you drive into from Slovakia. The IDP is a certified translation of your licence, carried together with the original — not a government-issued permit and never a replacement for your licence. Whether it is required depends on the destination country, so open the route for the neighbour you are crossing into.

Slovakia shares a land border you can cross by car with 5 countries: Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine. Each route guide covers the main crossing, the driving side, and local rules.

International Driver Licence issues your digital IDP in as fast as 8 minutes, so you can have it ready before you set off from Slovakia.
